<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
This module works with GetGlobal to place and retrieve objects from the
cache: SetGlobal places an <TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT> in the cache,
where GetGlobal can retrieve it.  SetGlobal should always be used with
GetGlobal, not with GetLocal.
<P><B>Note: </B>The corresponding GetGlobal module must be executed on the same
machine (i.e., it cannot be distributed to another machine).
See <A HREF="refgu066.htm#HDRGETGLO">GetGlobal</A> and <A
HREF="refgu067.htm#HDRGETLOC">GetLocal</A>
for a discussion of the differences between
the Global Get/Set pair and the Local Get/Set pair.
